Once you have designed the panel, you can exit design mode and switch to display mode
by clicking on the button 
in the toolbar or selecting “Stop design mode” in the context menu.

 |
As long as the program is in design mode, no actual values will be shown in the display objects, even if you have assigned active measured signals. The update of the values is effected in the display mode. Furthermore, the measuring signals of a displayed object in the design mode can only be assigned in the signal table in the properties dialog of the object. Adding measuring signals to a display object via drag & drop only works in display mode. |
If you want to switch from display mode back to design mode, right-click on the panel and choose “Design mode” in the context menu or press the key combination <Ctrl>+<D>.
Tip |
|
|---|---|
 |
If the panel is totally filled with display objects so that the mouse pointer cannot be positioned on the panel background anymore, then the context menu cannot be shown to switch to the design mode. In this case, press <Ctrl>+<D>. |
Every QPanel display can only be changed to design mode individually. Then the toolbox appears for all panels in design mode. Other panels can still be in display mode.
The panel mode can be identified by the upper toolbar which is only displayed in design mode.
